It's unfortunate that, for whatever reason, the bonus disc here does not include the complete remix album that accompanied the original UK cassette. This same company's reissue of "Quick Step & Side Kick" accurately reproduced that album's UK cassette remix album, so I was expecting this release to do the same. Unfortunately I didn't read the track listing closely enough before ordering. Having purchased the nice looking blue vinyl reissue they just recently released, I didn't need this double disc at all. That said, it's not particularly bad, just unnecessary and very perplexing. I'll be more careful when ordering in the future.

Just want to let you know that 12" mix of "You Take Me Up" Track 3 on Disc Two is VINYL rip, you can tell around 1:31, you can hear vinyl cracks and pops badly. I only bought this deluxe cd to get those Doctor Doctor and Hold Me Now mixes. I don't like when CD reissues are bundled with extra mixes and some are from vinyl rips. I can do that myself and better rips.

What an incredible quality re-release of this classic album from 1984.
First there's the package itself,the booklet folds out into an impressive sheet packed with pictures of the band and the original sleeves for the various vinyl,cassette & picture disc editions of the singles.
Next we have the album itself,which sounds excellent even by todays standards.
This excellent set also includes for the very first time the 'Special Cassette Remixes' and a further seven 12" mixes plus B-sides.
This album is a testament to just how important the Thompson Twins were to the 80`s sound and style of the time.
The quality of this reissue sets new high standards,lets hope they are followed through to other releases which come under the same title of `Reissue Albums`of the future.
